A new piece of software promises to keep track of the online updates for all PC games.
The CrosuS game management system from Isotx keeps gamers in touch with updates and new content, including news and reviews.
"CrosuS is a new tool that finds the latest content and updates for all your favourite PC games, from the latest blockbusters to old-school classics, and delivers it straight to your desktop," the company said.
"It brings the best mods, maps, tools, news, reviews, videos, tournaments and
competitions together and lets you control how you play and enjoy your PC games.
"
Patrick Flanagan, project manager for CrosuS, explained that the software
started life as a "mod jukebox" created by Isotx's development team when they
were working on their first game.
"We realised that hunting for new mods, installing them and getting them to work was eating into the time we could spend actually playing and decided there had to be a better way," he said.
Isotx claimed that CrosuS works with a growing number of titles, and supports leading online retail channels such as Steam and Xfire.
The software scans a user's hard drive to find installed games and delivers a list of the latest online mods, maps and tools, which can be installed directly from the CrosuS client in a couple of clicks.
